Senior Engineer, Android

Requirements

• Solid Android engineering fundamentals, including Kotlin, Jetpack, and modern Android architecture patterns
• A product mindset — you engage with PMs and designers as a partner, not just a ticket taker
• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills, particularly working with backend engineers on shared implementations
• The ability to assess technical trade-offs and advocate for solutions that serve both users and the codebase
• A track record of delivering features end-to-end with accuracy and ownership
• Experience with social or community features (feeds, groups, challenges, notifications) is a plus
• Prior experience at a company with a large-scale consumer Android app is a plus
• Familiarity with Android performance optimization at scale is a plus

• The Community Engagement team at Strava builds the features that help athletes connect, compete, and stay engaged with the communities they care about — clubs, challenges, social feeds, and the interactions that make Strava more than a fitness tracker. This team sits at the heart of what makes Strava meaningful to its 180M+ users
• As a Senior Engineer I on the CE team, you’ll own Android delivery for some of Strava's most-used community surfaces
• You’ll work closely with product managers, designers, and backend engineers to build implementations that are strong for users and sound under the hood
• This role carries real ownership — you’ll be shaping how features get built, not just executing on decisions made elsewhere
• Design and ship Android features for Strava's community and social surfaces, from technical planning through delivery
• Partner with server engineers on shared implementations, contributing to solutions that work well at every layer of the stack
• Collaborate with PMs and designers as a full participant in planning — helping shape scope, flag trade-offs, and advocate for technically sound approaches
• Contribute to code reviews and help raise the technical bar on the team
• Deliver medium-to-large scope projects accurately and on time, with minimal oversight
• Begin mentoring junior engineers on the team as you grow your leadership presence
